Airbus A320neo jets cross 100 mark in India despite reports of glitches

The number of Airbus A320neo planes in the country has crossed the 100-mark, including 50 with budget carrier IndiGo alone, despite some of these planes with Pratt & Whitney (P&W) engines reporting serious glitches such as mid-air engine shut-down. At present, four domestic carriers -- Government-run Air India and private airlines IndiGo, GoAir and Vistara -- have A320neo planes in their fleets beside other aircraft. The A320neos operated by IndiGo and GoAir are fitted with P&W engines, while the planes in Air India and Vistara fleets are powered by CFM engines. "With budget carrier IndiGo taking five aircraft in the previous month, the number of A320neo planes in the country now stands at 102," according to a source. IndiGo has now 50 A320neo aircraft, followed by GoAir which has 22. Air India so far has inducted 21 such planes while Vistara has taken delivery of nine of these planes, as per the source. The Gurugram-based IndiGo was the first carrier in Asia
